Premier Numbers of Vaillancourt Chalkware!

Santa in Sleigh 40th Anniversary Edition, VFA Nr. 24037

Although our chalkware is most often thought about during the holiday months, it’s during the spring that collectors are able to get the coveted “Premier Numbers.” Each piece is assigned a number, in the order in which it is painted, and the lowest numbers are made available during this event!

For the 2024 Premier Number Weekend Friday Evening Release Celebration, we have even more of a reason to party: our 40th Anniversary! On Friday, April 26th (5pm – 8pm) everyone is invited to meet, and have their pieces signed, by not only Judi Vaillancourt, but also the Vaillancourt artists! For those who miss Collector’s Weekend, this is a great opportunity to enjoy time with fellow collectors and the meet the Vaillancourt artists! Additionally, while we are toasting champagne and enjoying hors d’oeuvres we will be introducing the 40th Anniversary Chalkware Collection including the Limited Edition 40th Anniversary Santa as well as opening the Museum Vault to rare pieces from our founding days!

The format of the event has changed since past years! Picking order will be determined by random raffle, not by arrival time. Collectors are welcome to arrive any time during regular Retail Gallery hours (starting at 9am) to register and claim their raffle ticket (one per person). Raffle for Premier Numbers (production number #1, #2, or #3) will be drawn beginning at 5pm where Collectors may choose up to two (2) Premier Numbers (#1, #2, or #3) of any of the available 2024 line—including the Limited Edition 40th Anniversary Santa. Collector must be present when raffle is drawn, but is not required to stay before 5pm. All Collectors are welcome to choose higher numbers (#4+) at any time beginning at 5pm.

In addition to the 40th Anniversary Chalkware Collection, you’ll be able to enjoy a sneak peek of Judi’s 40th Anniversary One of a Kind Statement Santa that is expected to be released during our Fall Uncorking!

Please note that any online pre-order will be fulfilled on the Monday following the event beginning in the order in which the order was made using the next available Premier Number.
